Furthermore, even if some groups say they are not Igbo, there will be more groups from Yorubaland who will say they are not Yorubas. We have seen that already in Kwara state, Kogi state, Ogun and Lagos. While in Hausaland, Fulanis will easily say they are not Hausas, this will actually live Ndigbo as the biggest ethnic group in Nigeria if we go by the logic of Alh Harem.

Land mass is not a determinant in head count. Niger republic is bigger than Holland in land mass by x50, yet Holland is more numerous than Niger republic. So if Igboland is 15% of the land mass of Nigeria, does not mean they are less than Hausas. You guys have not been to Igboland and that is why you chat so much irrelevancies.
For your information, the Igbo border areas where there is identity crisis are very sparsely populated. The bulk of Igbo population is the South east and the population of this area alone is bigger than the entire south west including half of Kwara state Yorubaland.
Only Mbaise alone has a population bigger than the entire Lagos state indigenes.

Concentrate on the topic and do not derail it any more. Every Nigerian knows that the Igbo outnumber the Yoruba in Nigeria. Even Ndigbo outside the south east in Nigeria outnumbers the entire Yoruba people in Nigeria. It is the Hausa Fulani that it is not certain which group is more when compared to Ndigbo.
Yorubas do not have thick skulls and I wonder why yours is so different. You behave here as if your father and Odudunwa flew down from the sky on the same day.

Ohanaeze's biggest problem at the moment is finance. Ohanaeze is financed by the South east states and Delta North. But none of them is up-to-date with her financial contributions perhaps with the exception of Enugu state.
In terms of Igbo children in diaspora not speaking Igbo, there is not much Ohanaeze can do. Affiliate Igbo organisations should play a bigger role in this aspect. I suggest all the Igbo town unions abroad should include the teaching of Igbo to children abroad in their agenda. Nnewi people in the U.K have started it and others should follow.
Secondly, The Igbo Youths U.K (www.icsn.com) has started Igbo language lessons in London with two qualified Igbo language teachers. This should be emulated by other Igbo organisations outside Igboland.

@Alh Uche, there is a hall named after Awo in U.I. It is based on the fact that Awo was a nationalist and one of the founding fathers of modern Nigeria. There is no where in the annals of the university that Awo repaired or donated anything to Unibadan.
But before Awo, Azikiwe etc had buildings named after them.

It is not certain between Ndigbo and Hausa-Fulani which group is more in number?.
But it is easy to get this figures. Let there be an ethnic section in the next head count in Nigeria.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=729424.msg8912162#msg8912162 date=1313188679]The decision to establish the University of Ife by the ruling Action Group party of the Western Region of Nigeria was in protest at the recommendations of the Ashby commission. [size=13pt]The first Nigerian university was established in 1948 at Ibadan, in the western region as an external college of the university of London. However, the needs of Nigeria (then a British colony) far outstripped the productivity of the only university. In particular the University College at Ibadan had no faculty of engineering or technology, no law school, no pharmacy school or management training abilities.[/size] The Ashby commission, set up by the British, was to review tertiary education needs of the soon-to-be-independent nation of Nigeria.

In 1959, the Ashby commission recommended additional (regional) universities in the northern and eastern regions of Nigeria and another federal university in the Lagos protectorate, but none in the more educationally advanced western region which had a 'free and universal primary education' program. The government of the western region did not want to rely on the federal universities or those of other regions to admit its populous secondary school leavers.

as i said earlier, the university was not going well as was about to close down before awo came in to play. just like other missionary schools[/quote]You are still getting it Wrong Alh Uche my good friend. I know you are an intelligent poster, but count Awo out of any thing to do with Unibadan, Biko.

certainly not.

it is the north and SW that have this policies of naming things after people that are not from there region

take a look at oparaji, nnamdi, muritala,bello etc are all named in places they that is not there region

name a place, I mean an iconic place in the SE that has a northerners(hausa/fulani) name or a yoruba name. please name because i can do the same for the north and SW

If u schooled in UI then I must say

It amazes me how you and other igbos show hate for yoruba people then. well undecided

[/quote]A hall is named after Awo in U.I. But before that Azikiwe, Bello and Balewa all had buildings named after them at U.I. My point is that Awo as you claim has no impact in the establishment of U.I.

The likes of Azikiwe, Bello and Balewa were all honoured in U.I with infrastructures named after them before Awo. Awo has no place in the institution called U.I-the premier varsity.

Politics › Re: What Are Zik's Acheivement That Made Him Pro-nigeria And Not Pro-igbo? by AndreUweh(m): 9:10pm On Aug 12, 2011

@Alh Harem, please stop spreading further falsehood here. The Western Region nor Awo had no business with Unibadan. Unibadan was established by the colonialist. At independence, it was handed over to Nigerian ministry of education and it has remained like that till date. Do you not wonder why Unibadan has no specific catchment area despite being at the heart of Yorubaland?.
Even upon arrival at Unibadan, the structures you see, the environment and the names of the buildings there does not suggest any Western Nigerian influence. Trenchard Hall, K.Dike Library, Independence Hall, Azikiwe Hall, Tedder Hall, Bello Hall etc does not suggest any Awo or Western Nigerian influence.
Enough is enough.

cindylee:
I am Edo and I only learnt how to speak Yoruba because I schooled in Ife. Nobody from Edo state automatically learns how to speak Yoruba as his first or second language. You have to learn it because either you schooled in yoruba land or you live there. All these nonsense historians who have never lived or been in Edo state just talk of what they hear people say. And I still say that no Edo person can just learn how to speak yoruba like that. Also some part of Edos share boundary with Ondo state which are the Akokos. We call them Akoko-edo, so maybe those people by virtue of boundary speak yoruba and vice-versa. Please you guys should not just be basing arguments on what you hear people say

By the way, Urhobos and Itsekiris are not part of Edo state. They are part of Delta but we are all from the old Bendel state. Anything aside from this na pure lie.

Well done.

How can you be the last to go down when the Egba people only went down albeit intentionally in the mid 1900s?

There was not much resistance from Yorubaland to British occupation of Nigeria as compared to Igboland. The Egba had an Oba while the Oyo had an Alafin. With the surrender of this monarchs, their entire kingdoms fell. But in Igboland take the case of Umuahia, When Ibeku fell, Olokoro will take up arms and When Olokoro fell, Afara took up arms etc etc. This conflicts raged on in Igboland till 1929.
As at 1929, the Obas of Egba and Oyo had given up to The British.

The OP asked why Edo people speak Yoruba. Should I say they speak Yoruba because they are Yorubas. That will be false. The same way I have reacted is the same wayI will react if any other poster ask, ''why do Ibibio people speak Igbo@?''.
I still maintain that it is not proper for people to turn a simple logic upside down just as you and NegroNTS have demonstrated.

You were still hopeless and without life direction when I travelled to places as a result of the various languages I speak. You always think everyone is a local champion like you .

A little advise for you . . . .stop feeling irritated whenever we are mentioned. Reduce the number of village festivals you attend cos the breeze there is not good for your health mentally. Reduce your level of obsession. . .And you will be fine again .

This your post above is brainless. If at all you have travelled to places around Nigeria and speak different languages, then you would have known that what people of Edo speak is not Yoruba. You would have as well known that those Edos who speak Yoruba were either born in Yorubaland, lived in Yorubaland or have learnt to speak Yoruba. It is an outright stupidity to turn a simple logic upside down.

Your response is like saying Ikwerres or Ikas speak Ibo and have ibo names cos they have spent years in ibo land.
Or saying Itshekiris speak Yoruba and bear Yoruba names cos they have lived in Yoruba land (when many of them have not even been to the west b4).

True alj_harem but . .
Please let me have a link to the fact that eko is an edo name cos I know that even dopemu, agege, okun, aga, isale are yoruba names which edo uses too (as confirmed by an edo woman).

Your post on the bolded reveals you are as confused as the original poster. It also reveals that you have not set foot outside Yorubaland. To improve your knowledge about Nigeria people without going outside the south west, you should write JAMB and aptitude text at Universities like Unibadan or Unilag. Such places will enable to come across people of different origins, languages and tongues. It is just a humble advice as it seems you have not been to a uni yet.
For someone to think Edos speak Yoruba and another one feels the same way shows lack of sufficient knowledge of Nigerian people.

@The poster. Verify your facts before posting. Bonny Igbo was not the first dialect used in publishing the first Igbo bible.
Bonny, Isuama, Asaba and Afikpo were all used by Fr Dennis to translate the Igbo bible. In actual fact, Isuama was the reccommended one by the early Igbo christians but Fr Dennis refused to use Isuama.
